Frage 1 Bericht
Which element of drama tells the actor what to do?
Antwortdetails
The element of drama that tells the actor what to do is the "stage directions." Stage directions are written instructions in a script that describe the physical actions, movements, and expressions of the characters, as well as the placement of props and set pieces on the stage. These instructions are usually indicated in italics or enclosed in brackets and are intended to guide the actors, director, and other production team members on how to bring the play to life. For example, a stage direction might indicate that a character should enter from stage left, pick up a pen from the desk, and begin writing a letter while pacing back and forth. Actors use these stage directions as a roadmap to bring their characters to life, and to help create a cohesive and believable performance for the audience.

Antwortdetails
A literary work in which the characters and events are used as symbols is known as an allegory. An allegory is a story or narrative that has a hidden meaning or moral message conveyed through the use of symbols.

However, the pigs gradually become corrupt and oppressive, representing the rise of Stalinism in the Soviet Union. The animals and events in the story are symbolic of real-life figures and events, allowing the author to criticize political systems and social issues in a veiled and often satirical way. Overall, an allegory is a powerful literary device that can be used to convey complex ideas and messages in a way that is engaging, thought-provoking, and often entertaining.

In drama, the protagonist is the leading character. The protagonist is the main character in a drama or other work of literature, around whom the story revolves.

However, they are still the character with whom the audience is meant to identify and empathize, and whose journey is meant to drive the plot forward. The writer of the drama creates the story and characters, but the protagonist is a specific character within that story.

Frage 23 Bericht
_____________refers to time and place of a drama?
Antwortdetails
The term that refers to the time and place of a drama is "setting." The setting is the physical and social environment in which a story or drama takes place. It includes the time period, the location, the climate, and the social context of the story. The setting can be a specific place, such as a city, a building, or a room, or it can be a more general location, such as a forest, a beach, or a desert. In drama, the setting is important because it helps to establish the context of the story and provides the audience with a visual and emotional backdrop for the action. The setting can also influence the characters' behavior and motivations, as well as the themes and messages of the drama. Therefore, if someone is referring to the time and place of a drama, they are talking about the setting. It is important to note that the setting is not the same as a scene or an act, which refer to specific parts of the drama rather than the overall environment in which the story takes place.

Frage 33 Bericht
The phrase “living death” in a literary work is an example_____________
Antwortdetails
The phrase "living death" in a literary work is an example of an "oxymoron." An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two contradictory or opposing ideas to create a new phrase or concept. In this case, "living" and "death" are two words that are completely opposite in meaning. "Living" refers to being alive and having a vibrant existence, while "death" refers to the absence of life and the end of existence. By combining these two words into the phrase "living death," the author is able to create a powerful image of a situation or state of being that is both alive and dead at the same time. In literature, oxymorons are often used to create a sense of tension, irony, or paradox. They can also be used to create memorable and thought-provoking phrases that stick in the reader's mind. In the case of "living death," the oxymoron is particularly effective in describing a situation or condition that is both physically alive but emotionally or spiritually dead. This can be used to describe a character who is in a state of despair, depression, or hopelessness, or to describe a situation that is stagnant, unchanging, or lacking in vitality.
